Thank you for the quick reply. 

I was discussing this with another Debian user.

Both of our thought process went fairly similar:

* check for manpage since command-not-found appears to be a user command 
(/usr/bin)
* check /usr/share/doc/command-not-found/

After reading README and README.Debian, it appeared that the README was the only
of the two that explained how to use the program, which was by sourcing a file
that was not available.

Neither of us ever thought to check, or re-source bash.bashrc. I don't really 
like
that installation of the package makes it a global default, but that is not my 
choice to make.

I think something should atleast go into the documentation, explaining this to
other confused users.

There was also discussion over the severity of bugs we were finding. I had 
discussed somewhat on #debian-devel, but recieved no clear answers. If 
/etc/bash.bashrc did not provide this functionality, would it still fail
to meet the requirements of grave/RC?

I am not sure I understand how it would be a wishlist. Users who would like
to use the application as described on the documentation and the page
linked by the README ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommandNotFoundMagic )?

I wish to gain a better understanding as I attempt to become more involved
in testing and maintaining software in Debian.


Thanks,
